Up and coming
Multimedia to be topic of lecture
Richard A. Lanham, professor of English at the University of
California at Los Angeles, will lecture on "Rhetoric of Multimedia,"
at 4 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 12, in 110 Memorial Hall.
Speaking of the most recent of Lanham's nine books, Donald
McCloskey, professor of economics and history education at the
University of Michigan, said, "The Electronic Work (The University of
Chicago Press, 1994) is a stunner, an utterly original contribution to
the discussion of reading, television, education, democracy,
technology, competitiveness and theory....Lanham is more literate than
the defenders of literacy, more hip than the defenders of hipdom. He
looks forward, not too far, and sees us all pushing computer mice and
synthesizing music. The breath of reference in the book is
astonishing....Who better than such a wordsmith as Lanham to welcome
the new age?"
Sponsored by the University of Delaware's Department of English,
the lecture is free and open to the public.
